>to me, this doesn't seem like the best answer to put in the knowledge.
does it concern anyone else as much as it does me? especially those of
you that are running remote servers. I'm going to have several remote
qubes running that shouldn't be mucked around with. if it's this easy to
get into the box..
If you mean the simplicity of resetting the password then no. Its about
the same with any server if you have physical access then the box is
generally "yours" if you want to play it that way.
